New JK
Hey all, new JK owner here. I traded in my 2006 TJ SE for an 08 X.
I got a great deal on the trade in, and got everything that I could've wanted on the JK, for not too much more money per month. It helped that I only had 8300 miles on the TJ, and it looked like it just came out of the box (the only upside to travelling most of the past two years-it kept me from putting a lot of miles on the TJ).
My JK is Rock Red, with the Freedom Top, the "S" package, and the MOPAR Black appearance group. I've already added a bracketron universal mount (thanks to some of the instructions that I've read on here-the instructions that came with it were written for an 07, and apparently the dash above the stereo comes off differently than the 08).
Take it easy-
Steve

Thanks, MommaT,
I'm loving it, and though I know you don't buy a Jeep for mileage, that extra 5mpg definitely helped me to decide to go with an 08. (And it's my DD too).
I do have a question-I see a lot of threads where people talk about when their Jeep was built-is there some way to tell that?
Thanks, and I always wave-

This is a great site! I've been going through the write-ups, trying to see which ones I'm confident enough in my abilities to do.
I did drill my mirrors, and am seriously eyeballing the grill mod and marker light mod.
